WHAT IS POWR ONLY DISPATCHING
Ideal Model Where Your Tractor is the Only Investment
Power only trucking dispatch service means transporting a semi truck without trailer ownership. It is a tractor only operation where you sign up, drop your empty trailer, and hook one pre-loaded. Freight Connect assigns power only truck dispatch to CDL Class A drivers who want consistent freight and the freedom of trailer-free operation.
Mostly power-only loads run on a shipper-owned trailer (SOT) model. The leasing company or shipper owns the trailer fleet, and you pull whichever trailer is loaded and ready. It requires no trailer ownership, no trailer maintenance, no trailer insurance. Power-only truck dispatch features lower startup cost and flexible scheduling most trailer-owning carriers dream.
A CDL Class A license is required for every power-only operation we dispatch. If you have your license and your authority in place, we are just a call away.

WHAT OUR CARRIERS SAY
TRUSTED BY POWER ONLY TRUCK OWNER-OPERATORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
“Since switching to Freight Connect, my truck doesn’t sit. My dispatcher knows my lanes better than I do at this point — rates are better and I’m finally home on weekends.”
Marcus T.
Box Truck Owner-Operator
“Running 3 flatbeds used to mean I was on the phone all day instead of managing my drivers. Freight Connect took that off my plate completely — flat fee, no surprises.”
Angela R.
Flatbed Fleet Owner, 3 Trucks
“Reefer freight is unforgiving on timing. They’ve never put me in a load that didn’t make sense for my truck, and the paperwork is handled before I even unload.”
Dave O.

FAQS
Power Only Dispatch - Common Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started — answered straight, no fluff.

Yes. Every power only operation we dispatch requires CDL Class A.
Do I need to buy a trailer to get started?
No. That’s the core advantage of power only. No trailer purchase, no maintenance, and a lower startup cost than trailer-owning operations.

A flat 5% commission per load. No setup fees, no monthly minimums, and no contracts.
What freight do power only trucks haul?
- drop & hook loads,
- intermodal container freight,
